Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from the Original God

Chapter 97 Three Generations of Kings
"In the beginning, the Moon Guardian chose ○ and gained the power of lightning. He is the light descended from the gods, leading us to defeat one after another powerful opponents, leading us to the final victory.

His color is as bright as a peacock, his prestige is as immeasurable as Gao Tian, ​​he is the grace of heaven, and he is also the wrath of heaven. "

On the mottled murals, the ancient Indian wearing a crown sits high on the throne, holding up a scepter inlaid with the eyes of the original man, behind him are dark thunderclouds and lightning, and countless figures kneel at his feet .

Sanskrit is carved in a corner of the mural, which is the historical trace left by the ancient muralists, recording the unknown side of the greatest civilization in the ancient history of India.

Maybe let the current experts interpret it, they will think that this is the imagination of the ancients about things they don't understand, but people who are really in this world will know that all this is true.

Walking past the largest portrait at the beginning, the murals behind are much smaller and exquisite. Most of the paintings are wars or trivial matters of life, and there are no notes from the mural painters.

But Lu Mingfei looked at it with more interest. Whether it was the Singaporean professor or the employer of this mission, the materials they gave did not have these portraits, and these irrelevant contents were not within the scope of their plans.

So looking at materials is far less than on-the-spot investigation, and on-site investigation is not as good as personal experience, but now he can only observe the scenery of that era through these murals.

A war-loving country, many wars are recorded on the murals, and there are enemies from all directions throughout the year. The content of life only occupies a small part. This Maurya Dynasty seems to be born for war.

The battle between the two armies, the visit of the envoys, and the invasion of the city are the main theme of the front part of this mural corridor.War, still war, fighting all the time, as if that was their reality.

This is also a historical portrayal of the Mauryan Dynasty. The first king conquered North India and opened a prosperous moment for a dynasty. It was a violent victory.

Unknown lightning depictions can often be seen in these murals, which seems to be the king's terrifying method to attack opponents, because as long as there is lightning, the opponent will not be able to form a resistance force at all.

Chandragupta Peacock, from his surname, it can be seen that his origin is not noble, he should be born in a family that raises peacocks, and he is a Kshatriya.

In terms of blood lineage, unless he has been mutated, it is impossible for him to hold such a powerful power and power. Is this the power of the original human eye?

Let people have a stronger bloodline, no wonder the Indian wants to obtain this treasure, and he also wants to master such a terrifying power.

Power is always so intoxicating, even though countless people fell down on this road, leaving bloody results for future generations, but those who walk on it firmly believe that they will be the final victors.

Until the second huge mural, Chandragupta Peacock believed in Jainism in his later years and died of a hunger strike. The second king-Pintou Shatara Peacock succeeded to the throne.

Holding the scepter inlaid with the eyes of the original man, he sat on the throne of his father before, and the subjects from all over the world came to see him. Everything seemed to be the same as the beginning of the mural corridor, but the depiction symbolizing lightning was missing.

This is a conservative king and a consolidater of the Maurya Dynasty. He completely consolidated this country that rose due to the war, restored exchanges with the Quartet, and promoted the circulation of humanities.

He didn't have any great achievements in his life, and he led many fewer wars than the first generation of kings, but without him, this dynasty should have collapsed long ago.

A country created by pure war cannot survive for a long time. Therefore, as a consolidater, he played a role of linking the past and the future, supporting this precarious country.

This is the content recorded in the corridor of the murals, just like the words engraved on the murals of Bintou Shatuoluo's enthronement, summarizing his life experience.

"He is the guardian of the dynasty. He does not have the great achievements of King Yuehu, nor the grand ideals of King Ashoka, but it is precisely because of this king that we can wait for the great King Ashoka.

Praise be to this great king who brought us Ashoka and brought us peace and tranquility. "

From this text, it can be inferred that the mural painter was portrayed during the Ashoka period. He strongly admired Ashoka, and even his portrayal was more vivid than the previous two kings.

And he is more familiar with this contemporary king, there are more murals about Ashoka than the previous two kings combined.

Black clouds and lightning are intertwined on one side, white clouds and red flames occupy the other side, and in the middle is Ashoka sitting on the throne, holding a scepter inlaid with the eyes of the original man, accepting the kneeling of his subjects.

"The king also inherited the ○ of the family at the beginning, launched countless wars, wiped out all the kingdoms in this land, and unified the whole of India.

However, he witnessed the mass demise of human life, and later he believed in Buddhism, carried out peace throughout his life, chose △, and built a real heaven and earth.

He is the savior of suffering, the true God in the world, and the ultimate of all our beliefs. Wanwang Brahma protects him. "

From this passage, it can be concluded that the mural painter believed in Brahmanism, but he highly admired Ashoka, who believed in Buddhism. This is so unbelievable to those who know how harsh the dispute over religious lineage is.

But this further illustrates Ashoka's charismatic personality. He even conquered believers of other sects and made them praise heretics so much.

The following content is easy to understand, first of all, the experience he suffered when he was not enthroned.

For example, killed a lion with just a stick, was sent to suppress a rebellion on the frontier, fought for the throne and killed his own brothers
After he ascended the throne, he was as brave as when he was not ascended the throne. He personally led the army to conquer one kingdom after another and established the rule of the Maurya Dynasty.

Until I came to the country of Kalinga and witnessed the demise of hundreds of thousands of lives, I understood the value of life.

He converted to Buddhism and chose peace. The black lightning in the picture ended here and was replaced by chiseled flames.This is also a separate large mural, that is, the picture of black and white giant dragons fighting, but he has no separate annotations, it just occupies the entire wall abruptly.

The two special symbols ○ and △ must be related to these two dragons. Lu Mingfei had an intuition that this abrupt change was also closely related to the design of the gate.

The ancient historical picture scroll slowly unfolded in front of him, revealing to him the truth hidden in history, which is the other side that is unknown.

After walking past the murals of black and white dragons fighting, the next step is Ashoka's ruling plan to implement the concept of peace.

He prohibits killing, and all unnecessary killings are not allowed. Livestock can be slaughtered for food, but unnecessary waste cannot be created; no forests or abandoned farmlands can be set on fire, because there are small animals living there.

Although he believed in Buddhism, he did not prohibit the spread of other sects, so Brahmanism, Jainism and their traditional culture could coexist.

His legal codes and ideas spread to the surrounding countries, which made Buddhism flourish and made countless people admire this peace-loving king.

His non-violence has survived to this day and is a treasure in the history of mankind.

"If you are lucky enough to meet again, you can sit down and have a chat."
